Chapter 542 

Joe felt diffident as he stared at Skylar. 

Although she seemed very weak, she was still a temptress. Scenes from last night rushed to the forefront of his mind. Joe’s heart pounded, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. Then, his eyes darkened. 

Joe took advantage of his height and crossed the room to kiss Skylar in a few strides. 

Skylar hadn’t been prepared. She wasn’t expecting Joe to kiss her out of the blue. As Joe’s hands slid down to her waist, she grabbed his hand. 

“Joe, can’t you control yourself?” 

Skylar was tearing up. She was terrified of him. He went at her so many times last night. How could he still get it up now? 

Her legs were still sore. 

Joe kissed the corner of her red–rimmed eyes. He said, “Don’t overthink it. It’s only that you seemed so tempting when you looked at me like that. I didn’t want to let you down.” 

Skylar exclaimed, “You’ve read too much into it!” 

The corner of her lips twitched. How hadn’t she realized that he was great at twisting the truth? Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She had been reprimanding him. It wasn’t an invitation. Men were unbearable. 

“Don’t even dream of touching me for the rest of the month,” Skylar said. She was livid. Not only could she not go to work today, but she wouldn’t be able to go the following day either. 

The markings on her neck were glaringly obvious. 

Joe smirked before chuckling out loud. He asked, “If you don’t want to go out, why don’t we have fondue 

in the hotel?” 

“I’m currently full of rage. I’m not hungry,” huffed Skylar She got back into bed. 

Joe looked at Skylar fondly as he suggested, “Let’s have Wiscadian food instead.” 

Skylar glared at him as though to warn him that doing so would result in disastrous consequences. 

Joe choked back a laugh and called, “Bring me everything needed for a fondue.” 

When Skylar heard that Joe had asked for a fondue, her anger subsided slightly. 

Steven went to bed at 5:00 am after finishing his work, When he woke up, it was 11:00 am. He’d been given a day off. 

After showering, he made himself breakfast. While having breakfast, he scrolled through his phone. He had multiple missed calls from Annie. Why had she made,so many calls consecutively? Was she in trouble? This hadn’t happened before. 

Steven couldn’t be bothered to have breakfast. He immediately called back. 

It hadn’t rang for long before Annie picked up. 

“Steven…” Annie sounded like she had been crying. When she spoke, it carried helpless undertones. 

Steven’s heart leaped into his throat. He consoled, “Annie, tell me. Has something happened? Tell me

about it slowly. I’ll help you think of a solution to your problem.”

Annie’s racing heart slowed when she heard Steven’s words. Even though it was only through a phone, tears still streamed incessantly down her face. 

“Let’s talk about it face–to–face. I can’t explain it over the phone. Can you take a day off from work today?” 

Steven answered gently, “I worked till 5:00 am last night. I’ve been given a day off. I’ll visit you.” 

“No, I’ll find you,” Annie said hurriedly. 

Steven found it strange. He had a feeling that something important was going to happen. 

He could tell that Annie wasn’t doing well even through the phone. He was worried about her. 

Less than 40 minutes later, Annie arrived in front of Steven.
